Introduction:
| |
In the large context of Kinetic Theory, the session will focus on analytical and computational issues related to the mathematical treatment of kinetic models and their applications. Such models appear in a variety of areas that represent interacting particle systems as an intermediate level of description between microscopic (molecular dynamics) and macroscopic (fluid) models. Numerous applications arise within the study of rarefied gases, plasmas, radiative transport, semiconductors, wave propagation in disordered media, inverse problems, and materials science, as well as, flocking and social dynamics. Additionally, a significant interest in applications of kinetic models to biological systems and soft matter has recently emerged. A secondary goal of the session is to bring together specialists who, owing to their respective fields of study, might not otherwise have occasion to meet and exchange ideas and perspectives. |
